Beautiful. I have An OLD Recording of this. It was a Shaker song. One of my Uncle's said it use to be a Red song before it was used as a Shaker song. It is a very old song.
My grandfather, Bishop Gilbert Sotomish, used this song as his Shaker Song until he died in the early fifties. It was sung at my grandmothers’s funeral in 1978. They sang that song multiple times that day with a great crescendo. It seemed like they couldn’t or didn’t want to stop singing. Very moving. Very comforting.
I am so incredibly happy to see the traditions of our people being passed down to the youth. This is absolutely wonderful!! I love this video!!! :) saloli
What a great job all of you kids. singing and dancing proud and keep up the good work. Just love this song. I found this song when I lived in Skokomish and I have to listen to it everyday. thanks for sharing.
I remember being a kid and being so jealous of the boys dance. (later on I was able to appreciate the feminine side of this dance) Love the vid. Thanks for this. This took me back!
My grandfather was Gilbert Sotomish, member of the Quinault Tribe in Western Washington. The Sotomish family (Raven Clan) used this song and dance in the early days. After he was converted to the Shaker Church, he gave up the dance, but continued to use the song as his Shaker Song. He eventually was elected as Bishop of the 1910 Shaker Church organization that covered WA, OR, CA, and BC, Canada. He was the Bishop there until he died in 1950. No family member used the song after that in the church.
I love this so much !!! Always uplifts my spirit. Watching and hearing the youth sing ,dance and drum is good medicine thank you .I play this all the time ,it warms my coast salish spirit and soul!! 💜💕💜💪🙏👍🙌
This "SONG" is very GREAT. To me it sounds like mixster of Shaker Church song with the drumming and the dancers,resemble Eagles dancing. Very Spiritual Song. I LOVE IT. Niye.......... D'
This was originally my family’s song. They were from the Raven clan (KAPE in the Quinault language). So you’re right, it does resemble eagle movements.
oh my goodness thank you for sharing this song it goes right thru you like a BLESSING say prayers for my sister she has just lost her lovely mother to cancer hard times ahead for her and family
a recording was made on vinyl in the late 50's of this song and it was done by shaker church members. I have it, and you could look it up perhaps in Smithsonian folkways under songs of the puget sound.
This is awesome 👍🏽 made me get goosebumps. Nice to see the kids are very much involved. Wish that was like that around where I'm from. Too much bad influences and kids making bad choices.
I swear I’ve heard this somewhere, I heard the voices and just started singing it (welp, lip singing it bc my parents are asleep) but I was just, “Singing” and trying to remember where I’ve heard this, I live on shishalh lands and always have, though my dads side is Musqueam and his mother from Nanaimo my mom is from Shishalh and Sliammon
I live in the states...i grew up Iin Glen valley fishing with my grandpa were from matsqui i have family all over bc Ii have family in my musqueam burrard matsqui chilliwack rosedale my grandma is from the island..and i sure do love your guys songs
You know it's a powerful song when it gives you goose bumps and you feel your spirit jump inside.
there from the faser valley in B.C.!!! shout out to all the Natives all over the world from MUSQUEAM Tribe

My hands go up to our Chehalis relatives, so strong is this song, came down to you from the creator, good medicine.

this song is good. what a warrior song they sang! they should have on cd also. i sang along too.
I've always been proud to be Native American. This video is why. So much strength so much pride and honor. I love this video.
this song made me cry, it feels uplifting, nostalgic, grateful for the deep heart. Thank you Verna for sharing it with me. Noah
